[Koha] Cataloguing Music CDs in Koha?

[nurl]

Hi

This is a general question on behalf of the Nottingham University CD and
Record library (http://www.nurl.co.uk). We are an established student run CD
lending library and are interested in using Koha to keep track of our
catalogue/lending. 

Having successfully installed Koha_2.2.9 on Debian Etch with mysql_5.0.32 it
seems to offer much of the functionality we require. However, as seems to be
the case with many posts, not being from a library background we struggle to
fully understand the MARC record structure. The system will be stand alone
and We don't foresee any need for our database to interact with any other
library databases.

So my main question is about the cataloguing of music CDs within Koha and
MARC framework. Are there any existing users of Koha who have experience in
cataloguing music CDs? Is there a recognised method or existing MARC
structure we should use rather than having to define our own?

After a quite exhaustive search on the subject the nearest I could find was
a Library of Congress site that shows an example of the MARC structure for a
digital recording: 

http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/sound.html

Should we use a MARC based structure on this, or is there a better approach?

Thanks for your help,


Carl Styan
